Bath Time
Earlier this weekend we peeked in on an ibis who was vigorously engaged in bathing.
Once he spotted me he kind of gave me a look as if to say… “Would you mind?” 🙂

He sure did give you a look — he wanted his privacy while shaking those tail feathers. Great shots of his bath. Love those bills!

All a bird can ask for is a little privacy. They do have a funny bill!

Apparently legend has it the Ibis is very brave when hurricanes come….last to leave and first to return. Fitting for a school with football Hurricanes. I think the Ibis should be the Floridastte bird rather than the Northen Mockingbird. Even CSI Miami, the Tv show, has them sailing over the mangroves/glades in great numbers…a very evocative sight.

Now that you mention it I have heard that story. Great birds!

Funny I went to the U of M and yet am a complete blank on ever knowing that. Guess my real interest in birds came later. As luck would have it I hung out with some Ibises last Friday and had recently looked it up. Its rather cool that you and I see the same species, often at the same time…Carolina marsh or Florida coast. I think Florida is just a little bit ahead of Carolina for the breeding season due to the Northward advance of warm weather.

And of course you didn’t! Great shots. The eye stole the show.

This was unusual too, I don’t normally see an ibis bathing. I was really surprised a bit later when his friend came in and did the same thing.

How very rude of you to be a peeping (or should I say clicking?) Tom! But so very nice of you to share!

It was a bit rude of me to intrude but I have to document such behavior it’s my job. Well, sort of. 🙂

I honestly think he heard the camera clicking. The spoonbills will tilt their head up to look at me like that they are very similar to the ibis.

Can’t a chap get a bit of privacy? Well, maybe not if you are as goodlooking as that!
